[XP] Adding Extra Skills, Like In RuneScape

[Shadows Forger]

Hey everyone, I'm trying to make a skill for my game called Sleeping. Or I might make it standing, cause that's what most people do sometimes. So, have you guys played RuneScape? If you have, how you seen the variety of skills? Like hunter, ranger, magic, strength, herblore, and slayer. I was wondering. How do I make extra skills like that, if it's a script, I don't mind. (unless it's compatible with an AMS that modifies Main.) I don't have many scripts, just a few like a jumping script, and the ability grid. Also, if someone could make me a script -or tell me how to modify the old menu- that, on the menu, has an option called 'Skills', and where I can look up the level with a variable or something.
        Thanks in advance!  :lol:,

Hey, have you seen the Skills tab in the database? There's already many default skills, including Sleep. Could you elaborate more on the other skills, what do they do?

By sleeping, I don't mean in battle. I mean outside of battle, where you are tired and need to rest. (Thanks for the quick reply btw) Yes, I will elaborate on the other skills. (There's lots, but I'll only elaborate on the ones I mentioned.)

Hunter:    You need to hunt for animals, like catching them with a net, to gain experience.
Ranger:    Ummm.... Well, you shoot with a bow and arrow....
Magic:     You use spells....
Strength: A factor on how much you hit. (I know, it's already in the database)
Herblore:  Mix ingredients to make potions.
Slayer:    Kill monsters and beasts to gain exp, level higher to kill more things.

Yes, I've seen the 'Skills' tab. If that's how I do these, then I don't know. But I doubt that's how you do this.

Okay, are you using the default battle system or an ABS (you fight on the map)?

For sleeping, you can use Common Events. In the common event, tint the screen to dark, change the player to a sleeping graphic (optional), use the Recover All function, play a little ME, change the player to normal, and tint the screen to normal. You can try other skills with Common Events. Remember, you call it in the database->skills section.

Good luck with it!

Thanks! Forgot I could call common events for a while there. =P Thanks again! Btw, I was just about to start using Mr.Mo's SBABS, will that make a difference?

It should work without a problem, but I'm not exactly sure how Mr. Mo set up the skills. You can try it, although you might need a little extra programming (i.e, in case you're on a map with enemies, they'll continue to attack you while you're sleeping).

OK. =)
